Gulmarg- A Snow Paradise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A place surrounded by the mountains of Pir Panjal, a sub-range of the western Himalayas, between which perennial rivers flow, meadows get coated in white with the snow and all that prevails, is silence. This is the scene of Gulmarg in the winter when it receives a huge amount of snow. Standing at an altitude of 2,650 metres above sea level, it is located around 40 kilometres from Srinagar. It can be said that it is a perfect place for meditation in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gulmarg is a famous place among couples, families and adventurous people. This is because there is plenty of stuff to do here. The best part of Gulmarg is the snow which gets accumulated heavily and brings down temperatures to below zero. This silent atmosphere with no noise and disturbance is what makes it a perfect spot for meditation in the snow. Snow yoga is a magical experience here amid the lofty peaks of the Himalayas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khilanmarg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Khilanmarg is a trekking spot that is around 5 to 8 kilometres from Gulmarg. It is a serene spot with meadows and forests. Many people move to this area for skiing in the winter. It is also an amazing place for a meditation session of snow yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gulmarg Gondola is the renowned cable car that is the longest and highest cable car in Asia. It provides wide-angle views of Gulmarg and the mountain ranges. It has two phases. You can move to Phase Two, which is a secluded area with views of lofty mountain ranges below the skyline. This area is perfect for a heavenly experience of meditation in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bootapathri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another beautiful place is known as the Strawberry Valley because of its abundance of strawberry vegetation. Bootapahtri is a place of serene beauty with many hamlets that have been painted with different colours. This place is visited by fewer people and is one of the best places among the Gulmarg winter yoga retreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
